Real Estate Guide Phoenix pours more money into �ighting evictions AFN NEWS STAFF

hoenix City Council has approved spending $465,000 on legal services for renters who are fighting eviction threats and another $406,000 for helping in paying back rent and utility bills. “There are a only a few things more painful than uncertainty about where you and your family will live,” Mayor Kate Gallego said in a release. “Anything we can do to ease that pain is immensely valuable. This additional funding will allow an expansion of legal services and courtroom support available to those facing eviction.

It will go far toward eliminating that miserable uncertainty.” Council directed city staff to enter into a contract with Community Legal Services, a nonprofit law firm that provides a variety of legal information and services for free to those otherwise be able afford it. The city in a release cited research by the Harvard Law Review that reported tenants with legal representation are much more likely to stay in their homes than those who attempt to represent themselves.

These two homes were among the top sellers in Ahwatukee since the year began. The 6,000-square foot house on the left, located om E. Kachina Drive, sold for $1.4 million. Built in 1990, it has seven bedrooms and five and a half baths on a half-acre lot while below, this home on S. Tuzigoot Court sold for $1.64 million. Built in 1984, the 8,300-square-foot story has three interior levels that include a basement with a full kitchen. (Special to AFN)

“During this time when COVID-19 infection rates are surging, keeping families and individuals safely housed is as much a public health issue as it is an economic

one,” the city said in a release last week. AFN reported last month that city records show that up through November, Phoenix spent $2,257,441 on rental and utility relief and that Ahwatukee’s share totaled $111,500. That included $52,800

in rental help, $6,600 in mortgage assistance and $52,000 to help people with delinquent water, electric and gas bills. The money came from the $293 million the city received last spring in federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act funds. Although an eviction ban is now in effect until the end of January, the Biden Administration could extend that to September. The eviction moratorium and additional assistance approved last month by Congress will help renters in arrears, according to Zillow, an online real estate marketplace. The additional payments will bring their typical rent burdens from more than 80 percent of their income to less than half, Zillow said. But Zillow also, “While the extra assistance helps on a monthly basis, millions behind on their rent still face an incredible challenge in catching up on payments that have piled up before temporary eviction moratoriums expire.” The moratoriums do not forgive rent, but only give tenants time to either work out arrangements with landlords or find some other way to get out from under their arrearage. “Renters have carried much of the financial burden throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, in large part because of dramatic job losses in high-contact industries that are often staffed by renters,” said Zillow, estimating that a third of the three milli0on renters who lost jobs in March

and were still unemployed in November were from food and beverage services. Noting the extra $300 a week in unemployment compensation provided in the stimulus bill will cut renter’s monthly rent burden from 81.2 percent to 43 percent, Zillow said: “That is a huge improvement, but still well above the 30 percent threshold at which a household is officially ‘rent burdened.’” Chris Glynn, senior economist at Zillow, also warned, “Temporary eviction moratoriums and unemployment insurance alone may not be enough to keep some renters who have steadily accumulated debts in their homes long term. Housing vulnerability for renters will be a top issue for the incoming administration.” Even more alarming, experts say, is that the rent owed continues to accrue even without the looming threat of an eviction. A study by Moody’s Analytics estimated that nearly 12 million renters will owe an average of about $6,000 in back rent and utilities by this month. Renters who maintained stable employment in 2020, however, saw their rent burdens stabilize during the pandemic due to slowing rent growth for much of last year, Zillow added. Last year, housing advocates and landlords called on Congress to approve $100 billion in rent assistance, which experts said was meant “to be a floor, a minimum that would be needed,” according to the financial website marketplace.com. Congress approved $25 billion. 

Owner’s title insurance is usually optional, but it’s highly recommended. Without it, you’ll be left footing the bill for all the costs of resolving a title claim, which could be thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can purchase basic or enhanced owner’s title insurance, with the latter offering more coverage for things like mechanic’s liens or boundary disputes. While title insurance covers things such as mistakes in the legal description of your property or human error, be aware that it will have some exclusions – particularly violations of building codes that occur after you bought your home. Title insurance premiums can vary from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand dollars. In general, each policy price is based on the purchase amount of the home or the total amount of the loan. Title insurance is a highly regulated industry, so policy types and costs will vary from state to state and the Arizona Department of Insurance can provide infor-

mation on the pricing regulations. Unlike other types of insurance, a title insurance policy is paid with a single premium during escrow while closing for your mortgage. If you’re buying a real estate resale or refinancing, you may be eligible for a “reissue” rate, which could offer a substantial discount off the regular premium. To save on costs, here are some tips: Shop around. If premiums are unregulated in your state, find the company that offers the best deals. Just make sure you’re not sacrificing customer service to save a few dollars: Resolving a title issue can be stressful, and you want a company that will help you through the process. Read reviews and talk to your real estate agent for recommendations. Bundle. Some companies will offer a discount if you bundle your lender’s and owner’s policies. Negotiate add-ons. Even if the premium itself is fixed, there are almost always other fees built into your total premium price. Realtor.com provided this report. 

uying a home often entails also buying various types of insurance to protect your property and one type you might need is title insurance. When you buy a home, you “take title” to it and establish legal ownership. A title insurance policy protects you against the possibility that someone else might have a claim on your home. In essence, it ensures that a homeowner and their lender will be okay in the event that the seller or previous owners did not have absolute ownership of the house. If you need a mortgage to buy real estate, your lender will likely require you to buy a title policy from a title insurance company. Holding a title insurance policy means you and your mortgage lender are protected against any financial loss or title issues due to liens, disputes between prior owners over wills, clerical problems in courthouse documents or fraudulent claims against the property or forged signatures.

A title search will be performed by your title or settlement company to uncover any issues with your title that could give you legal troubles down the line. The title company then insures your claim to the property’s title. If anything is missed during the search or there are lawsuits questioning your legal ownership of the property after closing, title insurance policy will cover the costs of resolving the problem. Most lenders typically require a title search before closing escrow. Some issues they’re looking for include disputes between prior owners over wills, liens for unpaid bills or taxes and clerical problems in legal document. While most homeowners will never need to use their title insurance, its existence offers protection against a potentially aggravating and very expensive financial loss. There are two types of title insurance: lender’s and owner’s. Almost every lender will require a lender’s title insurance policy. This protects the lender – not you – from any costs in a title dispute.

many other states, actually rewards someone for trespassing on someone else’s property. It punishes the actual title owner by taking away the owner’s rights to the land without compensation. How can this be legal and constitutional, and what is the rationale for having law like this? In a nutshell, the reasons for the law can be boiled down to policy that favors productive use of land and stability in property rights, and disfavors sleeping on legal rights. Adverse possession has historical roots going back hundreds of years to England, where statutes of limitations were put in place. If the true title owner did not assert rights in the property within the appropri-

der the mistaken belief that it was their own. This type of situation often arises in boundary line disputes. Arizona also recognizes the “tacking” rule. This means if an adverse possessor occupies a portion of his or her neighbor’s land, without permission from the neighbor for five years, and then sells the property to someone who continues to occupy the neighbor’s land for another five years, the adverse possessor could go to court and provide evidence to satisfy the 10year requirement. While the doctrine of adverse possession has historical roots dating back to English law, its applicability remains relevant to this day. If you have any concerns or questions over your property boundaries or whether you might need to assert your property rights, you should act sooner than later.

rizona recognizes the legal doctrine of adverse possession. The doctrine is counterintuitive and seems to run counter to the values we were all taught in elementary school. It goes something like this: if a person utilizes someone else’s land – land that is not owned by the trespasser, land that the trespasser did not purchase or contribute funds towards and land of which the rightful owner did not provide permission for the trespasser to occupy – after a certain period of time, the trespasser becomes the true owner of the land. The original owner loses all rights in the property occupied by the trespasser. So not only is the original owner prevented from evicting the trespasser, but the trespasser has the ability to formally get title to the property through the court system. That’s right: the law in Arizona, as in

ate period of time, the occupier would become the lawful owner of the land. This law addressed concerns arose over people losing land that they occupied for many years, only to have the true title owner assert rights in the property many years later. This rule of law also afforded propertyoccupiers with a certain degree of confidence that after making productive use of land for many years, but lacking evidence of title which might be difficult to obtain, that no one could eventually rob them of their investment in the land Today, in Arizona, lawsuits are filed each month by a trespasser (often termed an “adverse possessor”). The adverse possessor must prove in court that he or she occupied land, without permission of the original owner, for a period of at least 10 years. An adverse possessor may assert an adverse possession claim over land, even if he or she possessed the property un-

Appraisal costs almost always on the buyer AFN NEWS SERVICES

f you’re buying a home, one of the many things you must check off your list is hiring a professional to do a home appraisal to assess the property’s value. But what if you check it off your list and then, for whatever reason, the home sale falls through – who pays the appraisal fee then? A home appraisal is a professional assessment of how much a property is worth. Unless you’re paying for your home in cash, it’s non-negotiable. Most lenders require an appraisal before they’ll grant you a mortgage. Your home is their collateral, and if you can’t pay your mortgage, they want to make sure they can get back as much of their money as possible. An appraisal also helps protect you from buying an overpriced property. The appraiser will take an unbiased look at a home, the condition it’s in, any repairs it needs, and other factors, and will also likely compare it to other similar properties in the area before providing an

estimate of what they think it’s worth. An appraisal goes deeper than the comps your real estate agent likely gathered and presented to you when you were first considering the property but not as deep as a home inspection, which you’ll also want to have completed in most cases before the sale is final. If the appraised value is higher than the cost of the home you want to purchase, you’re making an investment that’s paying off from the get-go. But if the appraised value is lower than the price of the house, then you have a variety of options – including negotiat-

the seller may have agreed to pay all closing costs, if the closing does not occur and the property is not conveyed, the seller is not required to pay your appraisal fee.” If a buyer doesn’t pay the appraisal fee upfront and instead rolls it into the rest of the closing costs, that doesn’t mean the buyer is off the hook if the deal falls through. “It has nothing to do with the seller; it is ordered by your lender and payment is due regardless of the outcome,” said broker Maria Jeantet. “It is typically paid by the buyer unless specifically negotiated ahead of time to be paid by the seller.” Having a home sale fall through is usually a bummer for both the seller and the buyer, and having to pay for an appraisal on a home you’re not going to buy adds a bit of insult to injury. Just know that while the appraisal fee can sting, it can save buyers from a much bigger financial wallop that comes with buying an overpriced home. Realtor.com provided this report.

ing with the seller, challenging the appraisal, and/or getting a second one. Or, of course, you could walk away from the deal completely. The cost of a professional appraisal varies depending on where you live; but in general, you can expect to pay somewhere around $300 to $400 for one. In most cases, even though the appraisal is for the benefit of the lender and the appraiser is selected by the lender, the fee is paid by the buyer. It may be wrapped up into closing costs or you may have to pay it upfront. There are some cases, however, in which a seller will offer to pay the appraisal fee to make the deal more attractive. So, back to the original question: When a sale falls through, who’s on the line for the fee? In most cases, it’s still going to be the buyer. “The buyer is usually required to pay the appraisal fee upfront, and it is owed even if the lender does not move forward with a loan,” said Realtor Lee Dworshak. “While
